Why do I need to provide identification?

By law, TransferMate is required to identify the person transferring funds to your institution’s bank account. Your identification will ensure that you and your institution are protected against Money Laundering attempts.

Yes, providing your family member provides TransferMate with the relevant Anti-Money Laundering Identification (student photo Identification and school's Invoice or Offer letter). This must be sent to edupayments@transfermate.com. Then we are happy to allow family members to make payments on your behalf to your institution.
